Open day leaflet

[ed]

Here's my first draft of the leaflet:

To do:
-adjust fonts and colours
-replace bitmap logo with svg logo
-add more words to the cloud

Any thoughs?

[Steven Gartland]

Looks great Ed.

I forgot about the meeting. Share as it seems like you all got a lot done. Would have been great to catch up as well.

[Edmond Lepedus]

Thanks Steve, don't worry too much about missing the meeting last night - its a regular fixture now. However, if it would help, I can make sure you get timely reminders over email/SMS/IM/twitter/Facebook/g+ :) 

The main thing to come out of last night's meeting was a renewed push to recruit new members and consolidate the community, starting with this month's open morning.

As a side note, what do you guys think about putting together short summaries of what is discussed/decided at meetings and making them available online?

Looks good to me, Ed
I'd have made it much busier/wordy, ha ha
Only suggestion maybe, would be a 'Paste this link into your browser
for more info' type link...? [If it could be abbreviated??

I'm not sure how useful that would be on a printed leaflet, but I
could probably slap a qr code on it :)

Yep, if you fancy volunteering, as it was your call...and I didn't
take shorthand....

Where / how are you planning to distribute the leaflet?

[Matthew Payne]

As I understand it:

 

I will take some over to BAE

I will send it on to the canthack group

Some are going down to UoG

Ed is going to take some to some other places (Please confirm where Ed)

Maybe Peter can send it out to the KLUG mailing list?

 

Anyone else think of relevant places?

Well, I was originally thinking of local sixth form colleges, but I think that's a non-starter because most people will be under 18. With that out of the picture, I can't really think of anything that's a better bet than the universities, and maybe any other techy-type businesses in the area. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Matt, when you say UoG, does that include Kent at Medway etc?

Ok, I can definitely do Kent, then. Am I right in thinking that there is another university on the Medway campus?

Also, have we reached a decision about moving the open morning to the following Saturday? If so, I can probably get word to Kent at Canterbury too, as I'm spending the day there on the 5th.

As far as I know, the University of Kent just does "Arts" in Medway and leaves the Engineering and Science to Greenwich, with those departments (for Kent) being in Canterbury......

The "Association" or Union for Medway is combined between the 3 Universities who have bases here in Medway, (Greenwich, Kent and UCL)

But don't blame me if my understanding is wrong.

Sure, KLUG is currently very bad at organising meetings :) So as the 31st is the week they normally have a meet I might encourage them to "Gate Crash"

Do Maplins (Chatham and Maidstone) have a notice board, can we get a leaflet in there? Also PC World etc. 

Do we want to look at Business Cards?

Peter. 

[Edmond Lepedus]

Just a quick message to say I'll be working on the second draft of the leaflet today, so if anyone has access to an SVG version of the logo, or any more words for the cloud, now would be an excellent time to send them my way ;). Any other suggestions would also be greatly appreciated.

If you don't have a svg let me know I will trace one out in inkscape later

[ed]

Second draft is ready :)

The colour scheme could still use a bit of tweaking as the ICM part of the logo is not clearly visible. Thoughts?

[ed]

Draft 3 just tidies up the word cloud a little bit:

[ed]

Draft 4:

I've changed the colours of the text in the logo to match the leaflet's colour scheme better. I hope it's not going to be a problem, but if it is, let me know and I can change it back (Matt?)

[Matt]

Go for a white background so that it can be printed on the ICM printer…

[ed]

Drafts 5 and 6 with lighter colour schemes

I think I prefer the darker versions, though...

[Matt]

Yes, the dark background is ok but….

 

Go for a white background it you want to print it on the ICM printer. It does not do borderless so anything with a colour background will end up with an uneven white border around it.

Lol I thought it had a few words about what ICMP is :P! 

Joking aside, though, I think that most people will look at the words in the cloud and be able to decide very quickly whether it's something they would be interested in. If it is, they will go to the website to find out more and then hopefully come to the open day. If, otoh the words in the cloud do not pique their interest, they are most likely not our target audience. 

Wrapping pretty sentences around what we've already got will just decrease the signal-to-noise ratio and waste people's time, IMO.
